I already posted this in the ART boards, but then realized it may be more appropriate here... I'll leave them BOTH up, just to ensure that you all get a gander!

Anywho, it's time to nominate your favorite comics (or those comics you find are the best in any given genre) for the 2nd annual CCA!

If you are a webcartoonist, then you are heartily encouraged to participate, so that these awards can help promote the webcomics community in hte best ways possible!

Just like in the other forum, I'll post the "official press release" following this message, but here is a quickie summary rundown:

*any cartoonist with an online comic can vote!
*the nomination round starts today, and goes on until May 19! (two weeks)
*you can nominate up to three webcomics per category!
*you have to write to the Registration Bouncer (that's ME!) at framedcomic@yahoo.ca so i can verify youhave a webcomic, and register you to vote!
*once registered, you go to the address I send you, and vote for all the comics you want!

Pretty simple, huh?

Anywho, that's the basic rundown -- the press release will give you more info, and anyquestions you may have can be directed to me at the email i gave above!

And if you want to help promotoe the event, that would be UBER-appreciated! The more voters, the better! You can check out www.ccawards.com for more info, and grab banners or buttons to plug the event with, too! (if the main addy doesn't work, you can use the backup site at ccawards.keenspace.com )

It's my pleasure to announce that the nomination round
for the 2002 Cartoonists' Choice Awards is once again
open and ready for your contributions!

Anyone with an online comic is eligible to
participate, but there are some restrictions. It
should be noted that comics with multiple
collaborators would need to choose a representative
for their group since only one voter will be
registered per comic. However, if a group of people
participates in a group of comic series, then each
member of that group can be the representative from
each individual comic title.

There is no restriction on which comics can be
nominated for any category, however the most nominated
cartoonists for each category will be contacted
individually and they must accept their nomination
before it will be announced to the public.

Registered voters can nominate up to three of their
favorite comics in a series of categories. But, it
should also be noted that any ballots with more than 3
nominees in any category would nullify the nominations
made by that person for that category.

The nomination round will continue until May 19th and
the top nominees will be announced by June 2nd when
the final voting round will begin. Votes for the top
nominees will be accepted until June 30th. The
winners will be announced and an online ceremony will
appear on July 7th.

In order to register for voting privileges, please
write to framedcomic@yahoo.ca along with your name and webcomic's URL to request your nomination instructions. Also watch www.ccawards.com for more information to come.
